SOAP to REST

Examples of how to use Bi-direct to make SOAP API calls to a server that only supports REST requests.

Bi-Direct endpoint for REST to SOAP: https://tri-way.vercel.app/soaptorest

Just like a REST to SOAP API call if you want to describe the properties of the request using three parameters Url, Method and Data (to send for a POST request):

• Url: The endpoint URL of the REST API you want to use

• Method: The HTTP method for the API call (POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, etc.)

• Data (optional): The request body data for the POST or PUT request

Example of a GET request

Normally this is how a REST request looks like

Content-Type: application/json; 

const {default:axios} = require("axios")


async function makeRequest(){
  const response = await axios.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users")
console.log(response.data);
}
makeRequest()

Output for the above-given REST request will look something like this
